Harbor of Hope

In 1945 Irene, Ewa and Joe were among the nearly 30,000 survivors rescued from German concentration camps and sent to the peaceful harbor town of Malmo, Sweden. Here they started a new life. Through unique archival footage, we see 10-year-old Irene taking her first shaky steps as a free person. We see newborn Ewa being carried off the boat by her mother. And we meet Joe, who arrived as a child without his family. In Harbor of Hope, they tell their amazing stories from the moment of liberation to the unsolved mysteries of the present time. A film about dealing with war memories, the importance of a helping hand and finding a harbor of hope.
